1.0 Concept
Demonstrates use of the .NET System.Diagnostics.Process class to inspect the current
process and launch a child process with command-line arguments.
2.0 Projects
| Project | Description |
|---|
ProcessDemo | Parent process — queries its own Process info, then starts a child |
simpleConsoleApp | Child process — reports its own Process info and displays received arguments |
3.0 Build and Run
Target framework: net10.0. Build the child process first, then run the parent:
dotnet build simpleConsoleApp/simpleConsoleApp.csproj
dotnet run --project ProcessDemo.csproj
4.0 Output
Parent process (terminal):
Parent Process
================
Process Name = ProcessDemo
Main Module = System.Diagnostics.ProcessModule (ProcessDemo.exe)
File Name = C:\...\CsProcess\bin\Debug\net10.0\ProcessDemo.exe
Setting Arguments for child process: FirstArg SecondArg
Child process (spawned in a new console window):
Child Process
===============
Process Name = simpleConsoleApp
Main Module = System.Diagnostics.ProcessModule (simpleConsoleApp.exe)
File Name = C:\...\simpleConsoleApp\bin\Debug\net10.0\simpleConsoleApp.exe
my arguments are:
FirstArg
SecondArg
